Job Description

The Role and Impact As a Memory Pre-silicon Validation Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of Intel’s next-generation platforms, including CPUs, chipsets, and boards. You will focus on pre-silicon validation debug, performing hands-on and characterization activities to identify issues, root-cause failures, and enabling IP functionality across firmware and software interactions. A major focus of this role is Memory technology bring-up, and advanced pre-silicon memory subsystem debug during new-generation CPU/SoC validation, covering Memory initialization, training optimization, frequency scaling, stability assessment, and power-management validation.

Your contributions will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver high-quality products across server, desktop, and mobile market segments. Business Group The Functional Validation team belongs to Intel Corporation and is chartered to perform pre-silicon validation of cutting-edge Client AI PC SoCs and platforms. This team is dedicated to ensuring the functionality of SoC hardware features in real-world environments while supporting Intel’s broader goals of innovation and product excellence. With a strong focus on quality and reliability, the team is instrumental in driving Intel’s success in delivering reliable solutions to its global customers.

Key Responsibilities

Perform pre-silicon validation and debug to ensure platform functionality aligns with design and architecture specifications. Develop and enhance debug methodologies, debug flow, and AI debug frameworks to improve debug efficiency, quality, and productivity. Conduct hands-on debug of IP, firmware, and software interaction issues, identifying and resolving failures across CPUs, chipsets, boards, and memory subsystems. Drive Memory feature enablement and debug during new-generation CPU/SoC validation activities, including DDR5 and LPDDR5/LPDDR5X bring-up, MRC/BIOS analysis, memory initialization, training convergence, frequency scaling, and stability assessment.

Investigate and debug memory training algorithms, including read leveling, write leveling, read/write training, command/address training, power training, timing optimization, voltage margining, and signal integrity-related issues. Analyze memory reference code, BIOS logs, training reports, margin data, eye diagrams, and memory matrix results to identify root causes and improve platform robustness. Perform DDR memory characterization, margin validation, RMT analysis, failure pattern investigation, and memory subsystem tuning across different configurations and operating conditions.

Collaborate with architecture, design, firmware, BIOS, and silicon teams to resolve complex memory-related issues and improve validation effectiveness. Debug tool capabilities including traces, cross-triggers, VISA, scan, and silicon observability features in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments. Drive continuous improvement in…
